I am breaking into 30s and no issue with water pump here…
$1800 for a water pump is WAYYYY OFF…this is a $350-$500 job….something smells fishy here
You’ve got one of the best hybrid powertrains out there - the Tucson is good but it’s got the DCT paired to the hybrid, and that thing is clunky asf…
I mean….come on, if this is the reason Ford is bound to fail. 90% of the BS are 1.5s that will never ever see any sort of off road ???…
How about letting your customer choose eh? I mean Ford already does this with the Maverick, although hybrid AWD will probably increase sales from 60/40...
Seriously? Lol 2027??? Ford’s marketshare will keep on going downhill….they need a full hybrid line up now - Toyota, Honda will continue to benefit big time from this.
This is the schedule for regular driving - remember, you have to follow a different schedule if you do some towing, deal with stop and traffic, extreme temperatures, etc…
most of us actually should be following the severe maintenance schedule…
wind influences things, keep that in mind - having posted this disclaimer I can tell you I have achieved 39mpg on my 1.5…
Normal driving though, I normally get 34mpg…
100% correct - and you don’t get that money back on resale…just do a quick search on cars.com and compare OuterBanks vs Badlands prices - they are basically the same…but there are like 7 OuterBanks to 1 Badlands.
most people shopping for cheap SUVs are interested in high mpgs which explain the...
the 1.5 already has both.
the 2.0 was an interesting state - the Escape, Corsair received this update in 2023 but somehow the Maverick and the BS were left out. Both are now equipped with that engine.
Hmmmmm sure :-) let’s agree to disagree on what is the better value here.
don’t get me wrong, I’ve got both ?? - but I’d never pay $40k for a pumped Escape. Happy to pay low $30s, which is where most of these units actually sell.
Oh I think it makes tons of sense…even without considering depreciation:
$45k gets into a fairly loaded Black Diamond and $2k gets into a Outer Banks - nothing basic about these at all…
you get more power, since there’s no particle filter; more ground clearance; more capability….
you can...
